O holy Apostles, Peter and Paul,
obtain for me, I pray you, lively faith,
firm hope, and burning love;
patience in adversity, humility in prosperity,
purity of heart and resignation to the will of God.
So, by means of your intercession and your glorious merits,
I may be able to overcome the temptations
of the world and the devil,
and be made worthy to appear before Jesus Christ,
who with the Father and the Holy Spirit
lives and reigns for endless ages,
to enjoy His presence and love Him forever.
Amen.
